Which buttons though and why, can you explain?

This paticular print is gorgeous. Her work is evocative and sensual and reminds me of the drawings of Aubrey Beardsley and Egon Schiele. They have a dream like quality to them, much in the same way as Choes 'City Girl'. Definately wife friendly and no they don't say anything profound but does all art need to have a message?

"Wife friendly"
Give me a break... we'll have people singing the praises of Vitriano soon!

Vettriano works you know. Paricularly if doctored with a contemorary slant

I'm not a massive fan, but I can certainly see why people would like it.
I'd not buy as I really hate Giclee prints, i think they're a lazy way of doing what can be done with several screens on a screenprint - just look at the results BRP get! (...and I've not even seen their stuff in the fesh)

I think art is about the image...and not all images need to have a message.

A lot of recent prints by some of the artists touted on here certainly have a message, but in 5yrs time, will those messages be as relevant?...and will you still want it on yr wall?

One of the best quotes in a while goffyyxtc! +1

I agree that not every piece of art has to have a message. I think Stella is a talented artist who expresses deep emotions quite well and draws some absolutely beautiful women.

[Matt-lock]

I happen to think it's a beautiful piece. And I think all her work for the most part is very beautiful...I think that the fact she is typically one of the first to sell out at group shows in gallery's shows the fact that she has talent...either that or a crap load of people have bad taste.

I don't need everything hanging on my walls to scream a politically charged message in my face or to remind me that our world is going to shit. Not everything has to have a deep message entwined with the image. Sometimes i just want to look up and see a smokin hot chick on the wall...right next to my thought provoking pieces!

[Existencil]

She certainly does draw some smoking hot chicks.

must be a lot of people buying prezzies for their nans for Xmas

[Existencil]

Yeah, but think about how happy the nans gonna be!!

This piece wasn't actually for sale at the show and I do have to say that her work isn't for everyone. I had seen a few of her prints before online and thought they were interesting, but when I saw the originals they had so much depth and detail, it went into the must own category.

I collect mostly street art, as I'm guessing most of us do on the forums, but it's good to change it up once in a while. Also, two of my favorites have become Micallef and Neate and I would catergorize them much less as street artists and more as painters, so who knows.

[faribo]

Just got this today. Looks great in the flesh very thick rigid stock. I have two of these so I may be open for a swap.

Art is subjective and personal.

Love/Like/Hate, all words!

Don't forget if we were all the same, life would be damn boring as hell!

[nombei]

her work has the same effect on me as Audrey Kawasaki's. if she was my girlfriend i would say it was "very nice..."

[meatbag]

She's having a show at Lineage in Philadelphia November 16th, 2007 through December 23rd, 2007. I know the owners of Lineage Gallery very well so if you want a hook up PM me and I'll provide you their contact info.

"lot of recent prints by some of the artists touted on here certainly have a message, but in 5yrs time, will those messages be as relevant?...and will you still want it on yr wall?"

well put...the problem with art that is making commentary on current issues is that when those current issues dissolve into something else, the art becomes obsolete. It won't ever be bad art but, it won't be timeless art. I like Faile because they don't create art with messages or as sharp commentary - it has that sort of timeless quality to it. I also like Stella Im Hultberg a lot and have the print posted here. It is georgeous - as far as her becoming bigger than Banksy...well I don't know about that but, she's certainly on the rise...Audrey Kawasaki as well...you can't even get on the wait lists - at least not on a position on the lists to buy...but, it is not street art....I like Aiko a lot - she, qualifies to me at least, as having the components of both street art and fine art. Just my two cents.

Lineage Gallery can be found doing a google search...Josh and Brad ( the owners) are great guys....I also know them, espically, Josh, well. I can also tell you that it is too late to get on the wait list as there are more people on it then there are pieces available and they go in order of the list.

new print released now.....i think its the best yet

[thwaites]

That's lovely, but pretty small and costs many pennies. Shame its not a bit bigger.

[a4mnt]

i really like it, but its a bit small.

how do you order it?

its not an actual phone call and talk to someone job is it

[craigf]

Nice and for me small isn't so bad as I have run out of large blank walls! I have however also run out of money so this won't be heading my way
